Master of Arts in European Linguistics (course director: Professor Bernd
Kortmann)

The University of Freiburg Master's degree in European Linguistics is an
innovative and unique two-year programme which has been running most
successfully since 2004. This highly competitive international Master’s
programme (on average 80-90 % of the programme participants are
international students) is designed for students interested in an in-depth
study of theoretical and descriptive linguistics.

It creates a solid basis for linguistic analysis and comparison, conveys a
sound understanding of the rich and fascinating linguistic landscape of
Europe, and imparts skills in up to four European languages. A wide variety
of seminars and lectures are offered in the following six modules:

-The European Languages: Structure, Typology and Language Contact
-Standard and Non-Standard Varieties in Europe
-Schools and Traditions of Linguistic Thought in Europe
-Minority Languages in Europe
-Multilingual and Multicultural Communication in Europe
-The Linguistic History of Europe

An additional research module includes an internship abroad, a conference
visit, and classes on research design and presentation skills.

Master of Arts in English Language and Linguistics (course director:
Professor Christian Mair)

The Department of English of Freiburg University is an internationally
prominent centre of research in corpus linguistics, variation studies and
functional-typological linguistics. In addition to this generally
stimulating academic working environment, students profit from an excellent
library, state-of-the-art computational infrastructure and a recently
re-equipped phonetics, audio and video laboratory.

The following three teaching modules are at the centre of this
research-based Master:

-Essentials of Modern English Structure
-Present-Day English: Regional, Social and Stylistic Variability
-Language Change and the History of English

Depending on their interests, students will specialise in one of the
following areas of concentration:
-Discourse and Communication
-Psycholinguistics: Language Acquisition and Bilingualism
-Corpus Linguistics and Language Technology
-Schools of Thought in English Linguistics

The degrees are designed to qualify students both for work in
language-related professions outside the university and for a further
career in academia, typically in the form of a PhD.

All applicants will be notified by January 31, 2009 about the results of
the screening process by the selection committees.
